I know we've reported this before but a new compilation by website Issues & Insights puts it together in a nice compact form.

The data from a 60,000-participant survey shows that conservatives are far better off emotionally than their counterparts on the left.

Nine in 10 conservatives self-report their mental health to be excellent (51%) or very good (39%). Those who consider themselves liberals are struggling, with only 20% saying their mental health is excellent and 26% believing it is very good.

Only 19% of conservatives say their mental health is poor, while 45% of liberals say they have poor mental health.

Those aren't tiny little differences and, for survey research, that is a really big sample. It tells you that, among other things, the homeless camped out along urban streets are merely Democrats whose mental health has gotten too dysfunctional to hold a job.

It explains why liberal policies are often impractical, or irrational. They are formed by and for people with "poor mental health."
